SELF-FASTENING SHAFT-KEY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 687,392, dated November 26, 1901.
Application filed September 17, 1900. Serial No. 30,286. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, MARTIN P. BOSS, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new and useful Self- Fastening Shaft-Key and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention relates to the'class of keys for fastening cams, pulleys, couplings, and other devices having hubs to shafting.
The object of the invention is to provide what may be termed a self-fastening, key in that the tendency of the hub to turn relatively to the shaft causes the tightening of the key.
My invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of the shaft provided with a key-seat, the hub having a bore for the shaft and a counterbore, and the lano-convex key conforming to said key-seat and connterbore, all as I shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.
Figure 1 is an elevation of a cam with the shaft in cross-section and showing the counterbore in the cam-hub, the flat key-seat in 1 the shaft, and the key in position. Fig. 2 is a section of the cam-hub at w a: of Fig. 1, showing the shaft in elevation and the flat keyseat therein, the key being omitted. Fig. 3 is a section of the cam-hub and keyat 3 y of Fig. 1, showing the shaft in elevation.
In showing a earn as the device to be attached to the shaft I am to be understood as merely illustrating thereby any device to be attached to shafting, whether such devices are cams, pulleys, couplings, or any other devices with hubs usually keyed to a shaft.
In the drawings, A is the cam, having a hub In this hub is made a counterbore b.
C is the shaft. In the shaft is made a flat cut c,which forms part of the key-seat. There is thus left between the counterbore in the hub and the flat cut in the shaft a plano-convex segmental space. In this space is seated the plano convex segmental key D. Now on account of this segmental space diminishing in area as the hub is revolved upon the shaft away from the center of the cut in the shaft the key is pushed by the counterbore in the hub as the latter is revolved until it is tightly gripped by said counterbore, and said key is thus a self-fastening one.
It is best in practice to make the counterbore in the hub of a radius less than the radius of the shaft.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-=- 1. The combination with a shaft provided witha plane-faced key-seat therein, and a hub having a bore for the shaft and a counterbore,
of a plano-convex key conforming to said keyseat and counterbore, substantially as described. a
2. The combination with a shaft provided with a plane-faced key-seat therein, and a hub having a bore for the shaft and a simple counterbore extending from end to end thereof, of a plano-convex key conforming to said keyseat in the shaft and to said counterbore, substantially as described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
